Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline MTE08 to MTE09 Endpoint in Draize Score
Day 1, Day 190

Draize score is a measurement of skin irritability of the application site based on erythema/escar and oedema. Erythema/eschar scoring ranges from 0 (no erythema) to 4 (severe erythema \[beet redness\] to slight eschar formation \[injuries in depth\]). Oedema scoring ranges from 0 (no oedema) to 4 (severe oedema \[raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond area of exposure\]. The total Draize score ranges from 0 to 8.

Percentage of Participants With 24-Hour Average Concentration [Cavg(0-24h)] Total Testosterone Within Normal Range at Day 120
Day 120

Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated over the 24 hour period on Day 120. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours. Normal range for Total Testosterone was defined as 300 - 1050 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).

Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of total testosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics of Dihydrotestosterone: Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Minimum Concentration (Cmin), and Average Concentration (Cavg)
Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of dihydrotestosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics of Free Testosterone: Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Minimum Concentration (Cmin), and Average Concentration (Cavg)
Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of free testosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Degree of Fluctuation (DF)
Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

Degree of fluctuation in serum concentration calculated as ((Cmax-Cmin)/Cavg) x 100%.

Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Area Under the Time Concentration Curve [AUC(0-24h)]
Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

Area under the serum concentration versus time curve was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule from time 0 to 24 hours on Day 7.

Testosterone MD-lotionEXPERIMENTALIn this open-label extension of the MTE08 trial, participants received Testosterone Metered Dose (MD)-Lotion for 60 days (dosing from Day 121 of the MTE08 trial to Day 180 of the MTE09 trial). Participants in MTE08 initially received 3.0 milliliters (mL) (60 micrograms \[mg\]) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion, and may have had their dose of testosterone adjusted upwards or downwards. Doses could be titrated to one of the following: 1.5 mL (30 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 2 doses to the axilla (1.5 mL to one axilla). 3.0 mL (60 mg)of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 2 doses to the axilla (1.5 mL to each axilla). 4.5 mL (90 mg)of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 3 doses to the axilla (2 x 1.5 mL to one axilla and 2 x 1.5 mL to the other axilla). 6.0 (120 mg)of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 4 doses to the axilla (2 x 1.5 mL to each axilla).
3 mL (30 mg) of 1% Testosterone MD-LotionEXPERIMENTALApplied once daily for 7 days to both axilla (1.5 mL to each axilla). All study participants are randomized to each of the 4 study treatments.
1.5 mL (30 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-LotionEXPERIMENTALApplied once daily for 7 days to one axilla. All study participants are randomized to each of the 4 study treatments.
3 mL (60 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-LotionEXPERIMENTALApplied once daily for 7 days to both axilla (1.5 mL to each axilla). All study participants are randomized to each of the 4 study treatments.
4.5 mL (90 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-LotionEXPERIMENTALApplied once daily for 7 days by three doses to both axilla (2 x 1.5 mL to one axilla and 1 x 1.5 mL to the other axilla). All study participants are randomized to each of the 4 study treatments.

Frequently asked questions about Testosterone MD

What is Testosterone MD used for?

Testosterone MD is an investigational small molecule being developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of hypogonadism in men. It is a metered-dose lotion formulation of testosterone intended to address testosterone deficiency. The drug is currently in clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does Testosterone MD target?

Testosterone MD targets the androgen receptor through its active ingredient, testosterone. By delivering testosterone through a metered-dose lotion, it aims to restore testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism. The drug is designed to provide a controlled dose of testosterone to address the hormonal deficiency associated with this condition.

Who makes Testosterone MD?

Testosterone MD is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LLY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this metered-dose lotion formulation for the treatment of hypogonadism.

What phase is Testosterone MD in?

Testosterone MD is in Phase 3 clinical development. Eli Lilly has completed three clinical trials for the drug, including two Phase 3 studies and one Phase 2 study. The drug remains investigational and has not received FDA approval. All completed trials focused on hypogonadism in adult male patients.

What clinical trials is Testosterone MD in?

Testosterone MD has completed three clinical trials. NCT00702650 was a Phase 3 titration trial with 155 participants. NCT00857454 was a Phase 3 skin safety study with 71 participants. NCT00857961 was a Phase 2 pharmacokinetics study with 21 participants. All trials enrolled adult males with hypogonadism.

Is Testosterone MD the same as Testosterone MD-Lotion?

Yes, Testosterone MD is also known as Testosterone MD-Lotion. The clinical trial records refer to the drug as Testosterone MD-Lotion (Cutaneous Solution) formulations. This metered-dose lotion is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of hypogonadism in men.
